Book summary

The year is 1534. French explorer Jacques Cartier, the first European to sail up the St. Lawrence River and to reach Stadacone and Hochelaga, discovers the New World and unknown peoples, such as the Micmac and the Iroquois.

Experience this great adventure in the company of the Duboys brothers, sailors aboard the Grande Hermine; of Cahoha, a young Amerindian; of Grand Chief Donnacona and his sons. All will play a major role during Jacques Cartier’s three journeys to North America.

The author gives us a most thrilling action novel: tempestuous seas, wild animals, and inhospitable forests.
